Time Check

The last time the Phoenix Suns were this good, this exciting, this much fun to watch was in 1993 when Barkely and the boys almost beat the Chicago Bulls to win the NBA title. If you are a long time Phoenix resident like me you remember those days like it was yesterday. I can still almost see every shot, every game. 1993 was only 13 years ago. 13 years ago was not that long ago. I mean I can still see Tom Chambers on TV these days. He looks like he could still suit up and play if he had to, he looks good. 13 years ago seemed like yesterday.

When your a tech guy you measure every thing in computer time.

I was thinking after tonight's Playoff win what some of my favorite blogs would say in the morning about the Suns? Blogs, they didn't have blogs back when the Barkley played for the Suns. As a matter of fact the internet was not really even around when the Suns went to the finals. (At least the internet we know today, ARPANET notwithstanding)
as a matter of fact..................................., here comes the reality check.

The last time the Suns were in the NBA Finals, Microsoft Windows 95 was still two years away from being released. It probably was not even in BETA. (Well maybe)

Now that was a long, long, long time ago!
